Historical figures have overheard students saying 'history is boring' - and now they've decided to quit history! When Abigail Adams decides there's more to life than doing chores in the White House, she escapes to become a Caribbean pirate. Can siblings Abby and Doc fix history before things get too mixed up? Or will they be the ones who need to be rescued? This is the second book in the Time Twisters series, a new historical fiction chapter book series from three-time National Book Award finalist Steve Sheinkin. Using his in-depth knowledge of famous historical figures, Sheinkin has created exciting adventures with historical figures going AWOL, hilarious trips through time, and totally true fun facts about each subject. For example, female pirates did rule the high seas in the early 1700s!
